  • Summary

  • In the low-income — but rapidly gentrifying — neighborhood of South Philadelphia, Andrew Jackson School’s first music teacher in 20 years builds a new middle school program that becomes a massive success story. The program, called “Home,” became a refuge for Jackson’s underserved, low-income students. But as Pitch contributor Avi Wolfman-Arendt reports, "Home’s" very success could in fact drive the demise of the values that made "Home" so important to the kids who participate in it.

These are never about what I think they are about

Well done. This story is completely outside of my personal experience. That is wonderful as it opens my world a little bit. Often shows that I have no context for are difficult for me to engage with. The creators of this story did an amazing job of making it accessible and engaging. Thank you.

One amusing note: The story ends with some folks having nostalgia for “what (it) was”. I am always amused by this. It seems to occur on the backside of every successful change.
